英英單字圖文記憶(99)

convict  [kənˋvɪkt]

A convict is someone who is in prison. 囚犯(已判決的囚犯)
If someone is convicted of a crime, they are found guilty of that crime in a law court.
(給…定罪;宣判…有罪)

分解前綴con = together,一起、全部字根vict = conquer,表示:"征服"
分析convict = 全部征服;引伸為 已判決的囚犯、給…定罪

For example
The escaped convict was seized outside the city. 逃犯在城外被抓獲.
She was convicted of murder. 被判犯有謀殺罪。
